- the railroad vehicle in the case of a two-car formation, has a configuration including two operation control devices, one high-order control unit 5, and two hybrid devices.
- the traveling direction signal Rev is information required when determining a start point and a target point when an elevation MAP 5b1 described later is referred to and switching between the start point and the target point according to the traveling direction. Therefore, even in a state where the traveling direction is not changed, it is preferable to maintain the state of the traveling direction signal Rev every time the vehicle reaches the target point. If the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref is calculated when the traveling direction signal Rev is input, the charge/discharge control with respect to the power storage device 2 can be executed at a preferable timing.

- Bat_Cup expresses the battery capacity of a battery mounted on a hybrid vehicle.
- the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref is considered in the example shown in FIG. 6
- the vehicle runs "uphill”
- the sign of the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref becomes positive (it is assumed that the charging side is "positive” and the discharging side is “negative")
- charging of the battery 2a is required.
- the sign of the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref becomes negative, and discharging of the battery 2a is required.
- the energy estimation unit 5b can estimate the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref required until the target point is reached, and the power-generation command-value generation unit 5c, which will be described later, charges or discharges the battery 2a, thereby enabling the suppression of the state of charge SOC of the battery 2a becoming over-charged or over-discharged while the vehicle is running.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart related to the setting of the generated-power command value Pc_ref.
- FIG. 8 is a flowchart related to the setting of the engine-output command value Pe_ref.
- FIG. 8 is also a subroutine invoked from the flowchart of FIG. 7 .
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an engine output characteristic MAP according to the first embodiment.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram in which a generated power characteristic MAP is superimposed on the engine output characteristic MAP in FIG. 9 .
- the high-order control unit 5 controls the speed of the engine 1a such that it operates at the low fuel consumption point (P1 to P3) of each notch stage on the basis of the engine output characteristic MAP set as described above. However, if an inclination when running "uphill” is steep and the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref is too large, the maximum output point of the engine (the point shown by the white circle) is used.
- a battery shortage ⁇ SOC is calculated by subtracting the state of charge SOC of the battery 2a when the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref is calculated from the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref. For example, in FIG. 6 , when it is assumed that the point A is the start point and the point B is the target point, if the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref is 50[%] and the state of charge SOC when the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref is calculated is 30[%], the battery shortage ⁇ SOC becomes 20[%].
- the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 for setting the engine-output command value Pe_ref is invoked.
- Step 5c2_5 the engine notch stage is set to "1", and it is checked whether the engine 1a achieves the rotation speed corresponding to one notch.
- Step 5c2_6 it is determined whether power generation is possible at the low fuel consumption point (any of P1 to P3: see FIGS. 9 and 10 ) of the current engine notch stage. If power generation is possible at the low fuel consumption point (P1 to P3) of the current engine notch stage (YES at Step 5c2_6), control shifts to Step 5c2_9.
- the engine notch stage is gradually increased such that the engine 1a reaches the maximum notch stage (3N).
- the timing of the gradual increase is such that a time interval is provided when switching between notch stages, and for example, switching of 1N ⁇ 2N ⁇ 3N is performed every 2 seconds.
- the desired engine-output command value Pe_ref is output to the engine control unit 1b on the basis of the current engine notch stage and the engine rotation speed.
- the engine rotation speed is controlled by using the engine output characteristic MAP in FIG. 9 such that the engine shaft output matched with the battery shortage ⁇ SOC calculated at Step 5c1 becomes the low fuel consumption point (any of P1 to P3), and the engine-output command value Pe_ref is output to the engine control unit 1b.
- the engine rotation speed is controlled so as to be at the maximum output point of the engine (the point shown by the white circle) on the engine output characteristic MAP in FIG. 9 , and the engine-output command value Pe_ref corresponding to the engine rotation speed is output to the engine control unit 1b.
- Step 5c3 It is determined at Step 5c3 whether the engine 1a has been started. If the engine 1a is in a stopped state (NO at Step 5c3), control shifts to Step 5c4, where the generated-power command value Pc_ref corresponding to the engine brake force is output to the power-generation control unit 1e. According to the operation, when the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref is calculated, surplus power charged to the battery 2a is consumed by the rotation load of the engine 1a. Therefore, according to the control, the state of charge SOC of the battery 2a can be reduced, and the battery 2a can be prevented from being over-charged before the target point is reached.
- Step 5c5 when the vehicle is to run to the target point, it is determined whether power generation is possible at the low fuel consumption point (P1 to P3: see FIGS. 9 and 10 ). Specifically, if the engine 1a can be driven to the target point at the low fuel consumption point (P3) of the maximum notch stage (YES at Step 5c5), control shifts to Step 5c6.
- Step 5c7 If the state of charge SOC of the battery 2a is likely to be insufficient even if power is generated at the low fuel consumption point (P3) of the maximum notch stage, i.e., when the battery shortage ⁇ SOC is unlikely to be overcome by the generated power at the low fuel consumption point (P3) of the maximum notch stage before the target point is reached (NO at Step 5c5), control shifts to Step 5c7.
- the engine rotation speed is controlled on the basis of the generated power characteristic MAP in FIG. 10 such that power is generated at the low fuel consumption point (any of P1 to P3 shown by the black circles in FIG. 10 ) of the corresponding engine notch stage, and the generated-power command value Pc_ref corresponding to the power-generator rotation speed is output to the power-generation control unit 1e.
- Step 5c7 the engine rotation speed is controlled on the basis of the generated power characteristic MAP in FIG. 10 such that power is generated at the maximum output point (the point shown by the white circle in FIG. 10 ) of the engine 1a, and the generated-power command value Pc_ref corresponding to the power-generator rotation speed is output to the power-generation control unit 1e.
- an operating point on the generated power characteristic MAP is, for example, at the point shown by a black square as shown in FIG. 10 .
- control is executed such that the operating point gradually moves to the low fuel consumption point (P1) of the engine 1a.
- the operating point is on 2N and 3N, control is executed such that the operating point gradually moves to the low fuel consumption points (P2 and P3) of the engine 1a.
- the generated-power command value Pc_ref is applied, application can be performed gradually every given time interval, or can be performed with a temporary delay. By executing such control, the operating point can be matched with the low fuel consumption points (P1 to P3) of the engine 1a, while performing a power generation operation without causing engine stall.
- the generated-power command value Pc_ref is further increased and applied such that the operating point becomes the maximum output point of the engine 1a shown by the white circle.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a comparison between the database of Patent Literature 1 and the database used when determining the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref according to the present invention.
- FIG. 11 when a comparison is made between the used databases, only the elevation database is used in the present invention, whereas the operating mode database and the position/reference charge amount database are used in
- Patent Literature 1 Further, when the number of pieces of MAP data required for one line is compared, in the present invention, one piece of data is used because a common database is used for the up and down lines. In contrast, two pieces of data are required in the Patent Literature 1 because different databases are used for the up and down lines. Accordingly, the following effects can be obtained by the function of the high-order control unit 5 according to the first embodiment.
- the high-order control unit 5 can determine the power generation amount (the generated-power command value Pc_ref) only by the traveling direction signal Rev and the simple elevation MAP, which is used in common for both the up and down lines, without sequentially updating the charge/discharge schedule according to the operating mode database and storing the data thereof in a memory capacity, as described in Patent Literature 1 described above. Accordingly, the memory capacity of the high-order control unit 5 is not completely occupied, thereby enabling the memory capacity to be saved.
- the power generation amount the generated-power command value Pc_ref
- the high-order control unit 5 includes the elevation MAP, which is used in common for both the up and down lines and in which at least two predetermined elevation values on the running track are described, and controls the power generation device 1 by calculating the amount of charge and discharge with respect to the power storage device 2, on the basis of the traveling direction signal Rev expressing the traveling direction of the vehicle, the running distance information from the distance translation unit 3h, and the information on the elevation MAP. Therefore, there are effects such that the amount of information on the database can be reduced more than that in Patent Literature 1 when performing charge and discharge control on the power storage device 2, and the memory capacity in which the vehicle database is stored can be reduced.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the concept of the elevation MAP 5b1 according to the second embodiment of the energy estimation unit 5b.
- the settings of the elevation MAP are different from those of the elevation MAP 5b1 of the first embodiment.
- the elevation MAP 5b1 in FIG. 12 is an elevation MAP in which a high altitude point (point a) and a low altitude point (point b) are present in a line between the point A and the point B.
- this elevation MAP is used when there is a point of inflection such as when there is a mountain at the point a and there is a valley at the point b.
- the elevation difference ⁇ h between the start point and the target point is different when the traveling direction signal Rev is "F" and "R". Therefore, the value of SOC_ref estimated by the energy estimation unit 5b in the high-order control unit 5 is also different.
- the elevation difference ⁇ ha at the point a when the traveling direction signal Rev is "F" is compared to the elevation difference ⁇ ha at the point a when the traveling direction signal Rev is "R"
- the elevation difference ⁇ ha in the former case is an elevation difference based on the point A that is the start point; however, the elevation difference ⁇ ha in the latter case is an elevation difference based on the point b that is a low altitude point. Therefore, the values in both cases are different. Accordingly, as the engine-output command value Pe_ref and the generated-power command value Pc_ref output from the power-generation command-value generation unit 5c of the high-order control unit 5, different command values are generated with respect to the traveling direction signal Rev.
- a predetermined point ahead in the traveling direction of the vehicle is set as a new target point to generate a new command value.
- running control between the point A and the point B is executed. It is obvious that, because the vehicle obtains the distance information Dis on the vehicle from the distance translation unit 3h at all times, the target point can be arbitrarily switched by referring to the elevation MAP 5b1 in FIG. 12 . In this case, a point in time where the new traveling direction signal Rev is input (when the traveling direction signal Rev becomes an "ON" state) is set as the start point.
- the traveling direction signal Rev of the second embodiment the high altitude point (the point a) and the low altitude point (the point b) are present between the start point and the target point; therefore, an "ON" signal is output three times including at the start point and an "OFF” signal is output three times near the target point.
- the charge and discharge control with respect to the power storage device 2 can be executed at a preferable timing.
- the function of the elevation MAP 5b1 of the second embodiment By using the function of the elevation MAP 5b1 of the second embodiment, at least one of the high altitude point (the point a) and the low altitude point (the point b) is set as the target point before reaching the target point (the point B). Therefore, there is an effect such that the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref of the battery 2a while running can be estimated more accurately than the target charge/discharge amount SOC_ref of the first embodiment.
- FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a hybrid vehicle drive system including the control device according to the third embodiment.
- the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the high-order control unit 5 according to the first embodiment is installed in the hybrid device 4.
- the high-order control unit 5 is installed in the hybrid device 4. Therefore, as compared to the hybrid device 4 according to the first embodiment, the length of the signal lines connecting the high-order control unit 5 to the power generation device 1, the power storage device 2, and the load control device 3 can be reduced. Thus, an effect is obtained where the cost of installing the signal lines can be reduced.

- the vehicle-operation information device 10 is also a device that detects disruptions of train operation diagrams of the vehicles running on the track and sends an instruction to the vehicle so as to resolve any disruption.
- the vehicle-operation information device 10 manages train operation diagrams. Therefore, the vehicle-operation information device 10 can transmit the vehicle-direction switching signal S by radio to the high-order control unit 5 mounted on an individual vehicle (see FIGS. 14 and 15 ).
- the high-order control unit 5 outputs the traveling direction signal Rev to the hybrid devices 4a and 4b under the floor of the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 17 , the configuration is such that the vehicle-direction switching signal S from the operation control device 6 is input to the high-order control unit 5.
